It would seem that the Finepix S9500 is a little bit of a battery muncher. I've seen those rechargable battery packs for other cameras, but the S9500 takes four AA batteries and I can't find anything that even looks compatible. Is there anything available? Cheers

I was hoping to do work experience with a local TOC as part of my college course, but my tutor seems to be having trouble getting me a place. I know there's a few members here that have done work ex with TOCs. How exactly do you go about it? Who are the best TOC to have a placement with...

What is the cheaaapest possible way of doing this? Was asked by a friend, and I thought I'd post it here as I don't know all those magic money saving tricks. Advance fares aren't a problem, nor is taking a slightly longer way around. YP Railcard fares please. Cheers

After spending a couple of weeks travelling around Scotland and Wales, I noticed rail staff (preserved and mainline) doing some pretty shocking things. The first thing that comes to mind, is a certain company's staff shunting a steam loco upto the coaches...with the shunter still between...

Went on a family holiday type thing with my Mum. Day 1 - Just a day at Aberystwyth. We went on the clifftop railway. Day 2 - Cambrian Coast and Ffestiniog Railway Day 3 - Betws-y-Coed and Llandudno Some are phone pics (esp day 1), but most are from the 9500. Oh, and I've been experimenting...

Randomly went out with 156401 today! Went to Stockport and Manchester Piccadilly to get some phots. I quite like some of these. Managed to see a 66 and 92, so that was the highlight of my day! Pictures are here: http://gizmogle.fotopic.net/c1554293.html Opinions please? Better or...

Spent the day with EE_Type_3 around Shoessbury and Croo. I'm not as pleased with them this time. They didn't turn out as sharp as the last set. Not that you can tell on the Fotopic versions :p But yes. Opinions please? Thankyou. Collection is here: http://gizmogle.fotopic.net/c1553802.html...

The hunt is now over. I had a great day out doing my hunt, and I hope everyone else enjoyed it too. It was actually quite fun to set all this up and think of all the tasks. If enough people want, then we could have another hunt next year with some new and some old tasks. Click the image for...

We all have the same thing in common, but apart from that, what do we really know about each other? Tell us something about yourself that we don't know. However strange or unusual you want. You can do as many as you like! I'll start. I'm scared of hospitals and old people. I don't eat...

So yeah... this has to be the first time that I've ever stood on the end of a platform with a camera with the intention of photting trains! Be kind :p I know most of them suck. I'm not really sure on how to use the camera yet, so it was just set on auto the whole time. Oh, and they have...

This is abit of a silly one... I downloaded some videos from YouTube. Converted them from .flv to .mp4. So I've now got them on my iPod, which is good. But I also wanted just the audio tracks on my iPod aswell, and I have no idea to do this. My converter only does .avi to .mp3 and I can't...

Unfortunately, we're gonna have to sell a load of our model railway stuff. Would anyone be interested in it? We have loads of Hornby track, including normal points and a few express points, Peco flexi track, underlay, Hornby platforms, Hornby Select system and track pins. That's all that comes...

Not had one of these for a while now... Post up pictures of yourself so we can all put a name to a face. No posting pictures of other members without their permission. Keep it sensible and friendly and fun will be had by all. A couple of me to start things off:

Yeah...I just got my track time watch back from repair. It's spinning like bloody crazy and I can't get it to stop. The site has instructions, but nothing seems to work. Pushing the button in won't stop it, and it's done more than one loop around and it's still going. Help. I just paid...

No matter how much you hate units, you have to pick at least one :p We've had the loco thread, so I thought I'd torture you all with a unit thread. My favourite units are probably... 142 156 158 222 390 442

Not really an ALR, but more an ALR style trip. You get the point anyway. The first three days will be a little bash around North Wales with my Mum. She wants to do the Cambrian Coast Express and the railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog. Tuesday 5th August _Arr|Dep_ xxxx|0836 Buxton 0919|0942...

Thought I'd copy JsT and have a thread for my updates :) I went to Scarborough today. Got a ride on the North Bay Miniature Railway, and then spent about 4hrs in the Sea Life centre! It was bloody amazing! There's also a picture of my Mum attempting to flail a 185 8) Oh yes...

Apparently overnighters have been banned by the station manager due to a complaint.
